THEATER PROJECT DEBUT TO GET OFF-BROADWAY PRODUCTION NEXT SPRING: A GREAT REASON TO SUPPORT LOCAL THEATER!

Joe Vitale's Play MURROW Gets NYC Production; one more reason to support The Theater Project so we can support local artists!

MURROW by Joseph Vitale WHY A FIFTIES' JOURNALIST MAKES FOR RELEVANT THEATER TODAY Next spring, the Phoenix Theatre Ensemble in New York will stage my play, Murrow, which debuted at The Theater Project in February.  The Phoenix Theatre Ensemble, founded in 2004 on New York’s Lower East Side, stages classical as well as new works. The genesis of the play dates to my days at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism in the early 1980s, when I was a student of Murrow’s long-time producer, Fred W. Friendly ...
